In this electric episode of The Weekly Beat with Matoma, Swedish pop icon Carola storms into the studio—literally. From hijacking the car and taking the wheel (a show first!) to commanding every moment with her signature vitality, Carola operates on another level. Known for a career spanning over four decades, she brings stories of enduring faith, unwavering passion, and the deep meaning behind her music.
As part of the "Surprise Guest Challenge", Carola invites Matoma to reinterpret her classic hit "Säg mig var du står"—a song of longing and truth that has stood the test of time in Swedish pop history. Their conversation dives into the roots of that track, her thoughts on spirituality and artistry, and how, even after so many years in the spotlight, she continues to surprise herself—and everyone around her.
The song we made “Säg mig var du står" comes out Friday October 10th, listen here.
